This invention relates to means for excluding stones in glass drawing and partienlarly to an improved construction of ring which is adapted to float in the molten glass and from within which the cylinder is adapted to be drawn in the usual and well known manner. Y

The object ofthe. invention resides in the provision of a ring adapted to be used in connection with .glass drawing apparatus and which will serve to efficiently prevent any 'foreign material floating on the molten glass from being carried into the wall of the cylinder .as the latter is drawn.

l/Vith vthe above and other objects in view the' invention consists in the details of construction and inthe arrangement and Combination ufparts to be hereinafter more -fully described. nndfpnrticularly pointed out in the appendedielaims In describing the invention in detail reference will tbe .had .to the accompanying drawings fwherein,likeohametcn's of referenoedenote'eorresponding Aparts in the several v iewseand in whieh- Figure ,1 ,is n A'horif/,ontnl section ofaglass melting tnnklekinrg np and showingtlie impmved-.ring-.in .placemndiFig- 2, a detail perspeeti-ve `View ein IFM-)S1 ied ,form Vof f-ring, same ,being` in` inverted position. ,lig- 1.3 i is a section :taken diainetrieally -,th-ron=gh the de- 'vice ilhistrated infFig. 1V of the drawinge-the representatieml ,oft-he furnace being omitted.
